    Episode 26 | Finding hope & rebuilding with John Polo

    Episode 26 | Finding hope & rebuilding with John Polo
    On this episode of the Filled With Gold Widow Podcast, we’re chatting with John Polo. John is a coach, author and speaker. 

    In January 2016, John lost his wife, Michelle, to cancer. From the rubble of everything that he once knew, consumed by desperation and despair, John held on long enough until he found his hope. And he slowly rebuilt. 

    Today John helps others through his social media, books, coaching, workshops, speeches, and podcasts.

    From grief to dating, self-growth, and everything in between, John offers a style of coaching that is not only effective but also very personal and unique. 

    John is the author of three books, host of two podcasts and has worked with clients on thousands of coaching sessions. He has been featured on People.com, NBC, The Huffington Post, Yahoo, Fox and more. 

    “I have been broken so many times in my life, and yet here I am even after thinking that I could never go on. It is possible to rebuild. Yourself, and your life. My goal is to help people through their pain and struggles, so that they can create - and enjoy - a better tomorrow.” - John Polo

    John and I talk about:

    • writing Michelle’s eulogy and their love story while she was in a coma
    • starting a blog to express himself & his grief, leading to speaking and writing books
    • his desire to survive and rebuild necessitated taking care of himself
    • Self-care is absolutely essential when rebuilding your life!
